More Widespread Rain Followed by Brief Cool Down

Following heavy rainfall Thursday night, the majority of Friday afternoon and evening remained dry.  As skies clear out following the passage of low pressure, locally dense fog will be possible by Saturday morning.

High pressure will move in Saturday and Sunday, leaving skies mostly dry and partly cloudy.  A weak disturbance moving through the jet stream Saturday may be just enough to generate an isolated shower Saturday afternoon, but most should remain dry.  Highs both days will warm into the low to mid 80's.

Low pressure will quickly move in from the southwest late Sunday night and throughout the day Monday.  Increasing moisture will allow rain to develop as early as Monday morning, but likely become more widespread by the afternoon and evening.  Heavy rainfall will be possible during that time, with potentially another one to two inches of rain falling across the Midwest.  But the track of the heaviest rain will depend on the exact track of the low pressure system.  Either way it looks to be a soggy start for kids heading back to school Monday.

Following the passage of the low Tuesday, winds will increase from the North Tuesday, pulling down a slightly cooler air mass for the middle of the week.  Temperatures won't be terribly chilly, but highs in the mid to upper 70's will be possible with overnight lows dropping back into the 50's.  It'll be nice to turn off the A/C and let a little fresh air inside.  The cool down is short-lived because it looks like temperatures will warm back into the 80's by the end of next week.
